    Hi Guys,
    I'm going to be very blunt with you all, I downloaded some movies online and i'd like to play them on my ipad.

    I believe they have to be in MPEG-4 / MP4 (not really sure here!)

    Is there any free software i can download to convert these files?

    Thanks

    I'm sure that these are perfectly legal video files, maybe tutorials or something to that effect.

    Anyway you'd be mad to be bothered converting the files. Just download Oplayer or one of the other video players for ipad from the app store and they'll play the files for you. Adding files to these apps is slightly different to how you add videos from itunes. It's explained it countless youtube videos including the below one. It's a million times easier than converting though.

    Easiest way by far is the Air Video app with it you can stream videos on your pc to your ipad & download them to you ipad from your pc it concerts the file while it downloads it
